Today's #JudicialReview application is likely the greatest challenge I’ve faced in my 13 years work, as patient advocate, and campaigner calling for government regulation of the corrupt #refractivesurgery industry, because General Medical Council (“and another”) at the heart of the scandal - by allowing it to continue 👀 In response to my #FOI request in 2020 asking GMC how many refractive surgeons had been referred to FtP hearings, I was told 4, but given only 2 names: 'I can confirm that Dr Muhammad Ali Qureshi (4155241) and Dr Srinivas Venkatachalapathy Goverdhan (5186084) are two of the doctors linked to the below numbers. The other two doctors names have been withheld as we can only publish details in line with our disclosure policy.' In fact Dr Goverdhan was NOT a refractive surgeon, and I attended 'Bobby' Qureshi’s lengthy FtP hearing at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester (details posted January 2019), so who were the other two? One I know used to work at Optical Express, who operated on a close family member (as most do), but because the case closed without sanctions, his details were removed from public records. The third surgeon’s case presumably similarly closed, but I have no idea who s/he is - and if anyone in the industry would care to tell me in confidence, you know where I am! Why have the many refractive surgeons responsible for harming countless patients not been referred to FtP hearings, even those who’ve been successfully sued multiple times (e.g. #DavidTeenan)? The vast majority of complaints don’t even make it past triage to case examiners! Then question why GMC so desperate to prevent me from observing Dr Jindal’s hearing on 30 Sept, and why the panel concocted absurd excuses to recuse themselves in September 2022, when it seemed clear in June they intended to find Jindal 'guilty'. (Read Annex B&C in my FundRazr Updates section - link below.) In the unlikely event that the allegations against Jindal are found proven at the next hearing, this won’t only damage the entire #refractivesurgery industry (+#BigPharma), but also hold West Midlands Police (& Sir David Thompson QPM DL) accountable, for their failure in 2013 & 2016 to respond to similar complaints re AccuVision Laser Eye Clinic & #drprashantJindal, resulting in Greg Brady’s ruined eyes! In 2022, placing blame on me, it was legal assessor Tehniat Watson (W Mids police) who advised tribunal to recuse, while tribunal chair Debi Gould (W Mids CPS) refused me representation at recent 2024 preliminary hearing, supporting Jindal's Counsel’s assertion that I was excluded from forthcoming FtP hearing under Rule 30. GMC have since admitted this was error in law, details to be published soon. Meanwhile, the fight to keep me out of the hearing rages on, so if you support the right to civil liberties, or have concerns about the GMC, please donate to my legal fees ➡ https://lnkd.in/eAD-8X62 #blindedonthehighstreet #stormsasha 4 Sept 2024

As an ST1, managing ophthalmic emergencies has often felt like my greatest challenge. These situations demand practical skills that aren't easily honed in day-to-day practice. However, my perspective shifted after attending the A&E Clinical Skills Lab organized by Moorfields Education. Through this comprehensive course, I gained invaluable hands-on experience in critical procedures such as lateral canthotomy, corneal gluing, and tap and inject. Now, armed with both knowledge and practical expertise, I feel significantly more prepared to confront these challenging situations head-on.

Our very own Hannah Schroeder, BSHA,CRCST, CIS, CHL, CER, Clinical Education Specialist, collaborated with #HSPA to release a new episode of Process This! on The Ergonomic Benefits of Work-Area Layout in the SPD! (https://hubs.ly/Q02t3vrm0) Hannah shares her invaluable assessments, recommendations, and rationalizations for optimizing record-keeping, time stamping, organization, and foot traffic flow within the sterile processing department. #PureProcessing #SPD #SterileProcessing #MDR #CentralProcessing

May Is National STOP THE BLEED® Month Knowing how to control bleeding from a serious injury is important for everyone. The American College of Surgeons STOP THE BLEED program arms people with the knowledge and technical abilities to truly make a difference in a person’s life if a bleeding emergency occurs. I think that realization is a profoundly positive and empowering experience for everyone who takes the course. — Kenji Inaba, MD, FACS Chair of the STOP THE BLEED® Committee of the ACS Committee on Trauma If we lose too much blood and it is not controlled, someone can die within minutes from a severe bleeding injury. The steps taught in a STOP THE BLEED® course can help keep a person from losing vital blood, which is necessary to perfuse all the organs and cells in our bodies. — George W. Contreras, MPH, MS, RN ACS STOP THE BLEED® Instructor #tourniquetthelimbs #packthejunctions #sealthebox #emergencymedicaltraining #executiveprotectiontraining #executiveprotection Larry Penton
